One of Microgaming’s most popular slot series is about to be extended as the developer prepares to launch Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx in collaboration with Stormcraft Studios.
The next chapter is taking players on a new quest for lost treasures of Egypt, hidden behind a five-by-four reel configuration and 35 paylines. What’s more, the playboard expands during key stages in the game and kicks off a feature rich action on five-by-five reels followed by 50 line wins.
The new title also comes with Rolling Reels, Win Booster and a multiplier trail, increasing the winning potential during extra rounds.
Unlike El Dorado, the story in Microgaming’s sequel is set beneath a starry sky, taking place on a five-by-four grid. There is a multiplier trail of up to 10x above the reels, and each successive win blasts away winning symbols, thanks to the Rolling Reels.
Following a streak of three consecutive wins during base play, the grid immediately expands to a five-by-five config and unlocks 15 additional betways. Apart from the 4x multiplier in this mode, players are also awarded a respin.
The funniest animation in this game occurs when three scatter symbols land on the playboard. Jungle Jim will then use his grappling hook to lower himself into the expanded grid and kick off a spree of 12 spins. This round comes with a multiplier of up to 20x and it is accompanied by the golden Sphinx symbols on the center reel. Each one of these symbols awards an additional spin and raises the level of the multiplier.
To improve the frequency of extra spins, players can activate the Win Booster, which requires only two scatters to trigger the feature.
James Buchanan, director of global operations at Microgaming said:
“We are so excited for the return of this iconic character in Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx. Jungle Jim is ready to dig up incredible rewards with win potential of up to 6,250x. The combination of innovative game mechanics and a graphically rich visual experience makes this latest instalment of Jungle Jim a game not to miss!”
Among the latest slot arrivals from Stormcraft Studios are also Agent Jane Blonde Returns, Dragon Shard and Breakaway Deluxe, released in July 2019.
This multi-talented group of developers from South Africa is making a name for itself in the industry mostly by delivering innovative and epic gaming experiences, like the ones previously mentioned. The team is driven by quality entertainment and adds passion to every single bit during production, from start to finish.
Among its earlier releases are also blockbuster games such as Game of Thrones, Jurassic Park, Thunderstruck II, Mega Moolah, Tarzan, Terminator and more.
